Installing Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2. But when I run the runInstaller
command it gives the following error & quit.
[oracle@localhost cdrom]$ ./runInstaller
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
And I tried to run the Installer with jre1.1.6 & jre 1.1.7. Both producing the same
error.
You may think why I'm using the old version of Oracle. It's an urgent need for
me at the moment.
Hope someone could guide me in the correct path to install.
Thx in advance.

You need to install java.

Problem installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
Due to a software requirement, I have to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. (I know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old and so as RH Linux 7.0 but that is what required).
I downloaded the Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz from Oracle and tried to installed it but it didn't work.
It crashed out when it tried to run some of the SQL script during the installation using SVRMGRL. Later on, we found out all the binaries under $ORACLE_HOME/bin were corrupted during the installation. We did a comparison of the size of SVRMGRL and SQLPLUS and they are different from the Stage (or the one from the .tgz).
Does anyone have this problem before? Will 8.0.5 works on Linux 7.0?
Thanks in advanced for any help.
Best regards,
William

I'm having the same exact problem. The link you have provided
seems to be a bad link. I would really appreciate it alot if you
could help get us through this first step of starting the oracle
installer interface. I never thought it would be this hard to
get started.

Installing Oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I am new with Linux Os and have to install oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux Os for a customer. So before proceeding, I need some guidelines.
1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setup
Regards
Edited by: user640001 on Feb 25, 2011 5:44 AM

1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

Installing Oracle 8.1.6 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

I have installed Oracle on Win NT quite a few times. I am trying to get my hands dirty with Oracle on Linux.
I have religiously followed all the steps in the installation guide except for changing kernel
parameters and recompiling, as I was not very comfortable with kernel recompilation
and also since I am using it only for testing and not for production, I felt the default
values might suffice. I have installed the software but when I start creating the database
it hangs after sometime saying 'Not connected to Oracle'. I have configured the listener
seperately using netca and tried to create the database using dbassist, but could proceed no further.
Kindly suggest way out.

anyone can help me

Khalid,
This combination is strongly not recommended. Oracle 8.0.5 was built with GNU Lib C 2.0, which is 2 generations ago. It will not work once installed and I do not know if the old glibc compatibility libraries would be available.
I would encourage you to use Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0.1) or wait a few days for Oracle 9i.

How to install Oracle 10g on to Red Hat Linux 5 Server

I'm new to both Linux and Oracle. I've been working on an installion of Oracle 10g on a Red Hat Linux 5 Server for about 2 weeks. I've been doing a lot of reading about installing Oracle on a Linux environment. I finally got to the installation portion and the Oracle Installer displayed a message that I had to have Red Hat 4 or 4 Enterprise to continue.
How can Install Oracle 10g onto a Red Hat 5 Linux Server"? Is there an option that I can use to bypass the OS checking?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no way to access metalink without a valid account. You could then just try to skip preinstall requisites with this clause:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or this method:
Copy the oraparam.ini from the installation source install/oraparam.ini to /tmp directory.
Edit the file /tmp/oraparam.ini so this file reads:
After
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,UnitedLinux-1.0,asianux-1,asianux-2,redhat-5
also, make sure you have these packages installed:
# rpm -ivh gcc-c++-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm gcc-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm
libstdc++-devel-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.5-12.i386.rpm

Invoking oracle utilities in Oracle10g on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I manage an oracle 10g database on Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 3.
I have problems invoking oracle utilities like netca, dbca, dbua etc from the bin directory. Every time i type netca while in the bin directory, i get the following error:
bash: NETCA: command not found
however when i type ./netca while in the bin directory, this is what i get:
****ORACLE_HOME environment variable not set!
ORACLE_HOME should be set to the main
directory that contains Oracle products.
Set and export ORACLE_HOME, then re-run.
i then set the enviroment variable thus:
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME
Further attempts to invoke netca still gives the same errors listed above.
please help if u can.
olumide

Hi,
check the installation guide how to set the environment. $ORACLE_HOME/bin is not included in the PATH variable (therefore bash: NETCA: command not found), ORACLE_HOME (and I assume other environment variables) are not set.
Don't read instructions word-to-word ,
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME' is syntactically wrong, use
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 .
Best regards

hi,
I am trying to install oracle 9i rel2 on red hat adv server 2.1
Installation and Linking looks fine and during configuration ,
the database configuration assistant fails with 'End of Communication channel'.
This makes the software not usable as we get the same error while trying to connect to the database too..
any ideas?Check the "Oracle Installation Errors" section at
http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
In this section I explain what I did about the
"end-of-file on communication channel" error
on RH AS.
Any feedback on this problem and solution is appreciated.
